Check in if your True Detective theories were horribly wrong.

I just enjoyed the show myself, and didn't ruin the experience by obsessing over it.

I thought it was awesome DESPITE being filmed in South Louisiana (sarcasm)

I thought we would would get more resolve on Senator Tuttle and Audrey but I still liked the way it ended.

In.

Still really enjoyed the show but I have an issue with how they wrapped up the investigation.

I read way too much into this show initially, but I enjoyed it and how it ended.

Well, I guessed at one point that Marty would turn out to be a competent investigator in 2012. I was right about that.

Overall, I was way off base. I figured that the actual cult would have been doing the killings and not the lone psycho.

And my worst prediction was that the talk of a whole new show next season was a head fake and that Marty and Rust would both die, the cult would more or less win this round and season 2 would be the 2012 detectives taking up the case.

My wife sat down about 10 minutes in and said, "why didn't you tell me about this series, this reminds me of Silence of the Lambs!" then about halfway Russ gets ax-hammer reamed by the retarded-genius and I start telling her about episode 1, about how Russ had to die now because of what he said about being a non-believer but having a crucifix to imagine how it would feel to die for a cause

but then he lives to smoke another Camel

I think just about everybody has wrong theories because there wasn't anything special about the ending so anyone who thought there was a clever twist of any kind was wrong.

Weak ending, lots of questions left. Like Treme, great until the last episode.

I thought the lawnmower man was the spaghetti monster and his green ears were his John Deere green hearing protection muffs.

And there ya go. Too many seemed to self destruct over what they didn't get that was never going to be

The only thing I was sure to happen was that MM's character was going to croak.

Can't wait for the next one.
And something tells me there will be a bit less speculation next time around.

I'll check in here. I was spouting nonsense for weeks.. claiming there wasn't enough time to wrap everything up so there would surely be a "big reveal."












Oh wait that was SFP...

It was a mix. Got some but not others. Thought for sure it was Marty's daughter on the video (not Marie Fontenot) or that she'd potentially be a victim at one point. Thought Rust met with Marty before his interview. And definitely thought for sure that one or the other would die in the finale. Was really glad to see them take the other route on that.

Never bought into the whole Maggie and her Dad theories though.

The only "theory" I had was about Aubrey and thinking that would certainly come back. Not horribly wrong or anything that made the end result different.
